Schoology in Art Classrooms

I've tried out creating a classroom on Schoology for art students and found some great application ideas for this communication tool.  Art teachers can post students' weekly sketchbook homework assignments along with a sample artwork simply by clicking on dates on the calendar. This way, there is no way for students to lose the assignment direction, which minimizes students excuse to forget the assignment!



If students click on the assignment button on the home page, they will be able to read the direction to the assignment along with a sample artwork.
Students can ask questions by clicking on comment button and teachers can promptly answer their questions.

Students and teachers can stay organized by clicking on the media album to view the sample artworks in order of the assignment dates.  

I also love this attendance tool that allows me to see everyone's weekly attendance report and it prints out in a neat layout. I can also leave comments to those students to update them about what they have missed that day.
